The body is complete, but in really poor shape. It is very old, and as an early car lacks much of the iron that the Jackson & Sharp cars have. It was reduced to a body so lost brakes, draft gear and other bits that have to be replicated.

The biggest problem is the lack of iron carlines... the roof is sagging and the side walls spreading.

It is very restorable, but it won't be easy or cheap.
